A variety of medical and dental resources are available if related specifically to the consumer’s developmental disability.  These include referral information for health practitioners and specialty physicians such as neurologists, who are generic providers with practices in the communities we serve or surrounding areas.  There are also health professionals vendored by ELARC to provide specialized medical services for our consumers.  Additionally, there is an extensive array of generic oral health resources such as dentists, orthodontists and dental clinics in Los Angeles County, from our Oral Health Resource Directory, in addition to vendored dental providers who have additional expertise in working with individuals with developmental disabilities.  Information regarding available mental health and other therapeutic services, such as occupational and speech therapy, can also be provided.
